Hey, Yo! Twain,

GRAMMAR NAZI HERE!!

Their = singular possessive.

There is = there exists.

Please DO NOT confuse THERE, with THEIR.

I know it was on oversight. I KNOW you knew better. It was just a typo.

Flame On!

I always appreciate constructive criticism.

I am still looking for a volunteer editor.

I share your dislike of their/there confusion, but their looks like a 3rd person plural possessive to me.

Was "on oversight" an oversight or a typo?
